Explanation

A gerund is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun. “Working out” is the subject of “makes,” and “Playing” names what the cat does. “Skipping her chores” follows the preposition “for,” while “cooking” is the object of “likes.” In A and D, the -ing words are part of verb phrases, not nouns.
